Hey Everyone,
I just baught a 95 Mustang GT 5spd, and I'm new to these forums. My stang's got 40k miles on it and is in a super clean condition. Seems like it hasn't been driven for a while, hence the low milege. This passed weekend me and my friends flushed out the cooling system like 7 times to get the water to come out clean. Changed fuel filter. Changed engine oil and transmission, both fluids looked horrible. Used 10w-30 Partial synthetic for the engine should be good. The few problems it has is these: tach is off by 1000 rpms cuz it stays on 1000 when the car is off. There's lot's of free play in the steering wheel and the wheel seems to vibrate when driving at any speed, highway is more noticeable. Also pulls to the right. The car came with 2.5 in piping from the headers on, no cats, but has the STOCK FORD mufflers . Why would someone do that??? I get some backfiring when i rev over 4k and i think that either the exhaust or spark plugs, cap, rotor and wires are to blame. I'm going to replace the spark plugs, cap, rotor and wires first and then see if that helps. Thinking of going ford racing parts for everting. Clutch is stiff as a mofo and the shifter is super notchy. I'll get the ford racing adjustible clutch cable first. I know this got long, sorry! But can you guys recommend some solutions for some of my problems. And let me know which parts you guys like better for some of the stuff i'm going to get, i just don't wanna get crap!!!
By the way i LOVE how easy it is to work on these things!!!
